Chapter Nineteen

EPOV

I could have sworn my heart had restarted. It beat a million times a minute. Sweat ran down my back and my palms were wet. Butterflies invaded my stomach and I was a nervous wreck.

In all actuality I stood there unmoving. Inhuman. Sweat was not pouring off of me. That was impossible. I was a vampire who thought he couldn't have children. I was an asshole for leaving Bella, who was pregnant at the time I left her.

Why didn't she tell me?

Now I stood at her hospital room door, shaking and wondering what will happen when I step over the threshold. Will I magically become a father? Will I be given that chance?

A hand came down on my shoulder, startling me. I hadn't heard my father approach.

"Go in and meet them. I think their just as anxious to meet you."

"And Bella?" I asked doubtfully.

Carlisle chuckled and squeezed. "That I have no idea. Good luck." He walked off, talking to a tall red headed nurse.

I took a deep, unnecessary, but calming breath before taking that first step.

The windows were wide but the outside offered little light due to the always cloudy day. The room itself was decorated in pastels. What really drew my attention were the two basinets. A pink and blue one side by side. I could see their charts hanging from them. She gave them her last name. Swan.

That hurt but I understood what Bella was doing. We weren't going to marry, she wasn't going to be taking my last name, and so it would be easier if they had her name. I tried to calm myself with this logic but it still hurt.

I don't know where the name Ezra came from but Charley must have been influenced by her father.

My mind stopped rambling when I saw the figure sleeping on the hospital bed.

Bella. My Bella.

Her hair was longer and new worries lined her face but she was still the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I still loved her. Silently I peeked in at my children. Bright green eyes met my golden ones.

Ezra cooed and reached up for me. Carefully I picked up my son. My daughter was still sleeping peacefully so I only leaned in and kissed her forehead before sitting down. I cradled him awkwardly at first until I got the hang of it. He didn't seem to mind my cold skin despite him running a little hotter than normal. Bella always did too. Must be a Shifter thing. It made me wonder if he would show any vampire qualities as well?

I started thinking about the aspect of vampire DNA. What factors are going to affect them? Will they crave blood? Run faster than normal Shifters? They're so many things to think about.

I rocked him in my arms not being able to looked away from him. He had my hair. Once I noticed this I had an out of body experience. I loved this tiny thing so much. He was mine. I would do anything to protect this small life. I looked over at my daughter and felt the same thing. These two children were mine.

"He looks like you." He voice was soft but it still spoke to my soul. I would know it anywhere.

"Well then she looks like you." My voice was equally as soft. How could it be so quiet when I had all these emotions running through me? I wanted to yell from a mountain top that I was a father.

"Is she awake?"

"Not yet." I paused. "They have my hair coloring." My throat felt constricted and I knew if I could I would be crying. This should be the best day of my life but I also felt so guilty that it was ruining the moment.

"Bella-" I chocked out.

"Shh. We can talk about everything later. I'm too tired right now. Is the rest of your family here?" I nodded while still looking down at my son. "You father was the one to deliver them. He even saved Charley's life, she wasn't breathing right or something so make sure you thank him later."

This was news to me. He must have been hiding that from me, not wanting me to worry more than I already was. I swallowed hard and checked on my daughter. She was sleeping peacefully in her little pink onesie.

"I will. I know that Esme and Rose really want to see them and you." Even from this room I could hear how anxious Rose was to hold her niece and nephew.

"They can come up, but only two at a time, I don't want it to get too loud." She said.

I nodded again, not moving, taking my time to enjoy my children before having to share them with the rest of the world.

**************************

So I have a question for everyone; what do you think about their names? Do you think I should have named them something else and if so then what?

So sorry it took so long for me to update but I was trying to figure out where to go from here. I have an idea but you'll just have to wait and see.
